      There are lots of things that you can do. But first, do know that a lot of people feel this way. I was very shy when I was younger!
      First, write down all the positive strengths and qualities you have and all those things that feel important to you. They might be things like how intelligent and smart you are, the care you have for other people, all the accomplishments you’ve achieved and any challenges you have faced and overcome. These amazing qualities are what make you so unique. Own that! Confidence comes from truly loving who you are and accepting all those things that make you, you. Lots of people sometimes compare themselves to others but that only serves to silence our true authentic selves. Instead, begin to notice all the strengths you have and build upon that. True confidence comes from liking who we are and all the amazing qualities you have.
